The Nature Of Forming Reality

How do we understand and interact with the world around us and in what ways are we privileging certain types of information and sensory experience? Sign up now for our ⁠⁠⁠How To Date Like A Secure Person https://www.mettagroup.org/datingworkshop workshop! FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23 7PM PT (APPROX. 75 MIN.) You don’t need to be single in order to feel lonely. The sad truth is that, just because you’re in a relationship, doesn’t mean you’re feeling fulfilled or that you’ve ‘arrived’. Some report feeling an excruciating loneliness or feeling totally unseen, even in long term relationships. So, what gives? How can we make space for truly meaningful, mutually supportive, passionate and nourishing relationships? In this workshop, you’ll learn an attachment theory perspective on why your dating life has been so hard, and how to date like a secure person (even if you’re not secure yourself!)
